Has Curiosity found life on Mars? News 'for the history books' set to be revealed

Mars rover Curiosity may have found evidence of organic life on the planet

NASA are keeping their lips sealed while they check all the facts but they promise some news that is "one for the history books", prompting speculation that they may have found signs of life or at the very least organic material.

Curiosity bod John Grotzinger said: "This data is gonna be one for the history books. It's looking really good."

The data that has been found has reportedly been found by SAM - Curiosity's instrument that is searching for signs of organic life.

The NASA team are being extra cautious about giving too much away just yet but they expect to reveal some potentially mind-blowing findings as early as December.

If there are signs of organic life then it may begin to answer the question of whether Martian life existed on the red planet.

Curiosity has already found evidence of water - essential for life to exist.

Excited science geeks are now hailing it as potentially the most important news of our lifetime.
